Stubborn Fat
We’ve all got that one spot. No matter how clean you eat, how many hours you log at the gym, or how consistent you are with your lifestyle… the fat just won’t budge. Whether it’s under the chin, along the jawline, the bra area, or that little “pouch” around the belly, stubborn fat has a way of sticking around.
The good news? There’s a modern, non-surgical solution designed specifically for those trouble spots: fat dissolving treatments.
What Is Stubborn Fat?
Stubborn fat refers to fat cells that are resistant to diet and exercise. Our bodies are wired to hold onto fat in certain areas for “survival mode,” and genetics, hormones, and age all play a role. That’s why some areas shrink with weight loss, while others refuse to change.
What Is Fat Dissolving?
Fat dissolving treatments use injectable solutions that break down fat cells in targeted areas. Once destroyed, those fat cells are naturally processed and eliminated by the body and they don’t come back!
This treatment is ideal for localized areas of fat that are resistant to traditional methods. It’s not a weight-loss procedure, but rather a body-contouring option for refining and sculpting your natural shape.
Popular Treatment Areas
Double chin / jawline – Say goodbye to the “tech neck” shadow.
Lower belly – Smooth out that stubborn pouch.
Arms (“bat wings”) – For a sleeker silhouette.
Bra rolls / back fat – Smooth the outline of clothes.
Thighs / knees – Tackle smaller pockets of fat that workouts can’t touch.
Who Is (and Isn’t) a Good Candidate?
Great candidates:
✔ Healthy adults close to their goal weight
✔ Individuals with localized fat pockets
✔ Those looking for contouring
Not recommended for:
✘ Pregnant or breastfeeding clients
✘ Those with active infections or uncontrolled medical conditions
✘ Anyone seeking overall weight loss rather than targeted sculpting
How Fat Dissolving Compares
Fat Dissolving → Non-surgical, quick sessions, minimal downtime, gradual results.
Liposuction → Surgical, more expensive, requires anesthesia, downtime, and higher risk but faster visible results.
CoolSculpting / cryolipolysis → Non-invasive, more expensive, freezes fat cells, but less precise for smaller areas compared to fat dissolving injections.
What to Expect
Quick sessions – Treatments typically take 20–30 minutes.
Downtime – Expect swelling, redness, or tenderness for a few days (this means it’s working!).
Results – Noticeable changes appear gradually over 4–6 weeks as your body eliminates the fat cells.
Sessions – Multiple treatments (usually 2–4) may be needed for optimal results.
Aftercare Tips
To support healing and results:
Avoid heavy exercise for 24–48 hours
Keep the treated area elevated (if under chin)
Use ice packs for swelling (wrapped in cloth)
Stay hydrated to help your body flush out fat
Avoid alcohol and smoking for a few days
Protect the area from direct sun exposure
